Malabrigo Chunky – Tortuga is one of Malabrigo’s classics! They took their Merino Worsted, fattened it up, and plied it to create this squishy treat of a yarn! Chunky’s nice smooth texture and semi-solid colours make it perfect for bulky cables and bold textures – or choose a variegated colour-way and let the colours do the work!

Be sure to get enough Malabrigo Chunky – Tortuga to complete your project since each bag is a different dye lot, and skeins may vary from bag to bag and in some cases the skeins may vary one from the other even within the same bag. To ensure random colour distribution, work from two balls of yarn at once, alternating a few rows from each ball.
We also know how hard it can be to compare colours or select several yarns for one project. If you need help with this please just let us know. We are happy to send you photos of yarns and colour combinations. You can contact me on 0480 485 071 for any help.
- We offer FREE SHIPPING on all orders over $75 in Australia
- Whilst we take every care with our images to ensure reasonable colour accuracy and texture of the yarn, due to the differences of everyone’s individual monitors, we cannot guarantee that the colour on your screen will be an exact match to the colour of the yarn. If we can assist you in matching or describing colours, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Craft Yarn Council is a great website full of useful information including all the standard symbols for crochet and knitting and all the information on what all those symbols on your yarn tags mean, hook and needle conversion charts and more! They also have all the information on Yarn weights including WPI which is very useful if you lost your tag! The other useful website is Yarnsub – great advice on what you can substitute your yarn for in a pattern. Both websites are worth having in your favourites.
A note from Malabrigo Yarns – When they dye their yarns, the same formula is used each time but every batch of yarn is assigned a different dye lot number. The differences from one dye lot to another can be very subtle, or extremely noticeable, specially on variegated yarns.
